Description
I was looking at Facebook and there was a job posting. I was interested because it said it was an assistant research position through one of the professors at the University of Pittsburgh. I contacted them. Sent them my resume; now they have my home address, email address, and phone number. They asked me to buy supplies for the job but I had to buy it through them and send them money. I should have known then and there that it was fake but I fell for it and I lost money and I’m scared they are going to come after me.
